Blended

This book really impressed me. It teaches you about diversity, empowerment and truth. As a mixed child myself I can really relate to this story. Eleven-year-old Isabella is used to seeing strange looks from people when she is  in public with her mother. Her parents are divorced. Her mother is white, her father is black. She tries to find herself. But she can't. After a tragic incident at school, she gets scared. Obviously, someone is trying to discriminate against black lives. Her parents fight about everything. She can't take her phone out in public without an officer thinking it's a gun. Her mother calls her Izzy. Her father calls her Isabella. She feels like she’s being used, like her identity is changing, her life is changing. Will Isabella find herself in her parents, or will she be lost forever?
